Milk bars were once a popular meeting place for young people across Merseyside but are now confined to history.
With their signature black and white chequered floors, bar stools, jukeboxes and pinball machines, they were seen in many ways as the British equivalent to the American diners which defined a generation's idea of high school glamour.
In their heyday during the 60s and 70s, milk was seen as a healthy and trendy drink.
Milk bars became a popular haunt for teenagers during this time, selling everything from milkshakes to frothy coffees and ice cream.
The National Milk Bars were founded by Welsh dairy farmer Willie Griffiths and his wife Florence in 1933, as a way to sell his dairy products directly to the public.
This came after Mr Griffiths took a trip to London and noticed the new phenomenon of milk bars popping up there.

The couple opened their first branch in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, in 1933, followed by Llandudno later that year.
Due to their success they soon branched out across England in 1936, with bars opening in Birmingham and Manchester followed later by Liverpool.
One Liverpool branch, which will bring back fond memories for people, is the old milk bar outside the entrance to Lime Street station.
The Beatles were among the famous faces to have visited the Lime Street milk bar in 1964, with a reference to it included in a biography of the band.
Today the branch is remembered in a panel of artwork created by Liverpool Anthony Brown above the former Futurist cinema.
Other popular Merseyside milk bars included Sherries Milk Bar on the corner of Dorset Road in Tuebrook and the Milk Bar on Victoria Road in New Brighton.

Sharing their memories, ECHO readers also spoke of Capaldi's Café in Kensington.
The Capaldi family have served the Liverpool public for decades, selling their own ice-cream from hand carts and then later at their city cafés.
Their cafe in Kensington was designed like a 1950s milk bar inside with neon lights and chequered walls.
ECHO reader Clare Woods said: "I remember that well. I used to live in Kensington and on Saturday morning me and friend would go and have ice cream in tall glasses and sit by the window."
